Real Thanks

I just finished chatting on Facebook with my nephew who is stationed in Afghanistan. I have also recently exchanged e-mails with another nephew who is on a Navy ship somewhere in the Middle East.  While I'm grateful technology has made interaction possible, neither of them will be at Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. So, when you are saying all of your thank yous to commemorate the holiday, don't forget to send a special thanks to the men and women who won't be carving a turkey with their families so that you can safely carve one with yours.
